    XB9S replied to Newton's topic in Nurse Registration

    ONP: you'll have to find a university that runs the course and find out what dates they have. Visa: you would need to contact the Borders agency to answer this question. To be honest studying to do...

    Professional dilemma

    XB9S replied to gdc67's topic in United Kingdom

    I suppose I don't even thing about it, working as a team is so integral to our practice it would be strange to work any other way. The medical team make a medical management plan of care for that...

    Professional dilemma

    XB9S replied to gdc67's topic in United Kingdom

    I think you'll find ZippyGBR is an overseas trained nurse. Reading through some of your posts I have to wonder if the permanent staff are actually reacting to how you interact with them. You seem to...

    Work Hours

    The RCN or NMC I don't think do but the European working time directive does, although it looks at working hours rather than travel time unless that travel is work related rather than

    Professional dilemma

    In your original post you say that recently you've been told to adhere to the no agency nurses to give IV policy. You ignored that instruction and breached policy, that's a disciplinary offence in...

    Professional dilemma

    XB9S replied to gdc67's topic in United Kingdom

    At the end of the day it's hospital policy, you knew that and you breached it anyway. The managers will have implemented this as a result of assessed risk management and reduction, maybe because of...

    ACLS exam in the UK ? Does it exist?

    XB9S replied to skylark's topic in International Nursing

    And I thought I was clear also, it is unlikely you will find ACLS in the UK, it's a US based qualification so the UK version (ALS) is what is available here. If you can't find a local hospital then...

    Employment Drug Test Questions

    XB9S replied to booradley007's topic in General Nursing
